Among the many handbooks on health economic evaluation available, Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials, now in its second edition, will be of interest to researchers who work in health economic fields worldwide. This well-structured and updated book provides information on the methods for conducting economic evaluations alongside clinical trials; in particular, designing economic evaluations in clinical trials, preplanning in preparation for the trials, and the transferability of the results from trials. It also provides helpful guidance on techniques for collecting cost data, analysing the data and interpreting the results, as well as the issues of using these techniques in implementing the economic evaluation. The techniques presented and their issues and potential approaches are illustrated through practical case studies and examples, which are carefully explained and discussed.
